Eight Years of Asa

She's been a dynamo since Day One. Well, really from Day Zero as I know when I was carrying her that this was one active little child. I wrote in her journal at six months that she loved animals and music and was already clapping rythms. In looking back through eight years of photographs, the patterns were clear. She's almost always with someone, finding pictures of her by herself are rare. In so many, she's accompanied by her big brother - what a blessing to have him! In others she's with friends and family. If she's not with another person, she's with an animal - there are photos of her with newts, snails, frogs, chickens, lizards, turtles, horses, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits.... the list goes on. And if none of the above is true, she's playing music or dancing. She's eight years old now - still a whirlwind of music and dance and movement and love for people and animals. Happy Birthday to my peach!
